"Celebrating Stanley" Poem - South Stanley Junior School
This poem was created by Livy, Layla, Liam and Harry, Year 6 pupils from South Stanley Junior School as part of our 'Celebrating Stanley' project. They were inspired by the importance of coming together to celebrate the town, honour past generations, and remember the people who helped shape its history. Ultimately this poem encourages unity, celebration, and pride in Stanley as a place to belong.

Dealing With Anxiety
At aged 11, my son suffered a breakdown of mental health, and was off school for pretty much 4 years. He has never spoken about what he has been through these last few years openly, but yesterday wrote a blog and presented me with his account, and wanted it shared. This is his story.
